The Search for WondLa (1)
When a marauder destroys the underground sanctuary that Eva Nine was raised in by the robot Muthr, the twelve-year-year-old girl is forced to flee aboveground. Eva Nine is searching for anyone else like her, for she knows that other humans exist, because of an item she treasures—a scrap of cardboard on which is depicted a young girl, an adult, and a robot, with the strange word, “WondLa.” Tony DiTerlizzi honors traditional children’s literature in this totally original space age adventure: one that is as complex as an alien planet, but as simple as a child’s wish for a place to belong.

Eva Nine had spent her entire life underground being raised by a robot she called Muthr. One day her home was attacked by a creature known as Besteel. The book was Eva's adventures trying to escape the hunter.
I must say I was surprised more of my questions were answered than I was expecting. I will admit some of the questions I had were not even a consideration within the frame of the story, but they did occur to me and I am still wondering about the answers.
The world building was really well done. Each new scenery description was vivid with interesting creatures.I did feel as if the characters were being pushed forward so they could get to the next landscape.
I enjoyed the characters especially Otto, the really large water bear who was completely devoted to Eva.
The best part of the book was the pictures. They were incredibly detailed and greatly enhanced the story.
